She Was

a suddenly stunning addition to the
weary bus stop scene. With geek-chic
glasses and an appropriately trendy
stripey-scarf, she puffed out her cheeks
and checked the time. I didn't have to
check it to know it had stopped.

I didn't notice how windy and cold it
was until she got on her bus and rode
away. Leaving me and my lonely bench,
warm blue lights, and a small smile.
